To all whcmt may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL LAGowITz, of Newark, in the county ofEssex,and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement inFrames for Travelling-Bags; and I do hereby declare the following' toIbe a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enablethose skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, inwhich drawing- Figure 1 is a transverse section of this invention.

Figure 2 is 'a plan thereof, when the frame is open.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a travelling-bag frame, which is made ofsheet-iron, one edge of each jaw being doubled up, so that thesheet-metal will not injure the covering, and the other edge of each jawbeing made to receive a wire, which serves to strengthen the frame, andthe ends of which form the joints on which the jaws open and close.
